Show Notes

Content warning: Discussion of traumatic experiences

Sophia Davis, Senior Editor at The Lancet Psychiatry, is joined by Judith Lewis Herman, Duane Booysen, and Angela Sweeney to talk about the impact of trauma and routes to recovery. They discuss how ideas about trauma have changed over time, and about how trauma happens not just to an individual but within social contexts, and the recovery or healing from trauma does too. They also consider the importance of the context of different countries, of survivor-led research, and of social justice for trauma.
